Nope, Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. hasn't reached 5M and both are bigger than Zelda. I can Zelda doing something around 4M lifetime.

Lol, they only released last year. They easily will reach 5M. MK8 is tracking ahead of MK: DD on a smaller install base. You also can't ignore that SSB4 also released on the 3DS (and shipped 6.2 million units by the end of 2014).

WW sold 4.60M.

Yes, but Zelda is much smaller than both. Skyward Sword didn't even managed 4M. 

Yes, Zelda is smaller but not significantly. If u compare Zelda and Mario Kart on SNES/N64/GC, Mario Kart sells roughly 1.5x as much as Zelda. If u compare Zelda and Smash Bros on N64/GC/Wii, Smash Bros sells roughly 1.25x as much as Zelda.

So in theory, if Mario Kart 8 sells 6 million and Smash Bros U sells 5 million than Zelda U is likely to sell about 4 million.

Also it's a fact that the second mainline Zelda released on a console always sells less than the first so Skyward Sword is not an accurate comparison.
